Tasting Notes

Among all the Gaja single vineyards, Costa Russi is the most captivating and elegant with an appealing, velvety structure from a young age, but it also has excellent ageing potential. The 2008 Costa Russi is a dramatic combination of elegance and power. Rich aromas of ripe dark cherry, purple plum, crisp red fruit, sweet spice and marjoram are underpinned with a meaty undertone of roasted coffee beans and oak. A cleansing, rounded acidity, lovely fine tannins, violet and ripe dark fruits lead on the palate with elements of savoury spice proving the perfect complement. This is a really elegant Costa Russi and, with the extra ripeness it always has, is surprisingly approachable now.
